Staughton Green moated site is a medieval moated enclosure located in Great Staughton, Huntingdonshire. The monument comprises a substantial rectangular moat which survives as an earthwork feature and represents a form of domestic settlement fortification characteristic of the medieval period, particularly from the 12th to 16th centuries. Such moated sites were typically associated with manorial or substantial gentry residences, providing both defensive capability and status demarcation. The site's preservation as an earthwork remains significant for understanding medieval settlement patterns and the distribution of high-status dwellings across the English landscape.
